THE people of Indiana in general and of In
dianapois in particular will take notice that
the Sim Coy gang is Endorsed and their meth
DDS and acts approved and practiced by the
Democratic party. True, there are many
honest, decent Democrats who do not go with
the party in this matter, and who, if the party
does not cut loose from the gang, will cut
loose from the party. But the party man
ayers, the party organ and majority of its
active working members indorse the gang and
all it has done. In other words, they indorse
the tally sheet forgeries and the frauds and per-
juries practiced by the gang to cover up their
crime and escape punishment. The Sentinel
has defended the gang at every stage of the
business and heaped the vilest abuse on every
person in any way connected with the at
tempt to bring the rascals to justice. This it
has done irrespective of party, singing out
by name some of the best men in the Demo.
cratic party, high minded, honorable citizens,
and abusing them in the most shameful man
ner, for no other reason than because they re-
pudiated the tally sheet forgeries and showed
willingness to assist in bringing the per-
petrators to justice That the organ of the
gang should abuse Republicans for attempting
to secure the punishment of the forgers was
to be expected but the inclusion of honorable
Democrats in its denunciatons shows the
feeling of the party managers toward all who
do not approve the crime and applaud the
criminals. Everything tends to show that the
party managers in this city, of whom Coy
himself is still the recognized chief, intend to
make the Endorsement of the tally-sheet
forgeries test Of party fealty and the vim
dication of the gang the paramount issue in
local politics. It remains to be seen if they

President Cleveland is a political issue about
which the members not of one mind, and
any Cleveland banner hung across a street for
their procession to pass under, and which seems
to challenge their appreciation or Misrepresentation
is placed there only for the plain purpose of pro-
voking from some sign OF disapprobation that
will be painful to others in the ranks and ap-
parentIy inconsistent with the non partisan pre-
tensions of the organization In short there is
Tuttleism on both sides of such an incident and

or treat with Indifference, Cleveland banner
displayed on any other occasion, may regard Its
suspension the route of G.. A. r process
sion as somewhat wanting in considerable
courtesy to themselves and to the partisan
professions OF their order.

HE News prints with approval an article
calling the Standard Oil Company ''the great
octopus" ''hideous, hydra headed monop-
oly," "a foe to American institutions" ga
dangerous monster which is slowly but
surely destroying the commercial indie
pendence of the Nation" and much more of
the same sort. On the same page the News
says editorially, "No paper in Indianapolis is
bent on keeping the Standard Oil Company
out OF here. On the contrary, every paper
wants it to come in, and the sooner the bet
ter" And again, indianapolis wants said
company and every company to bring
gas here possible" This IS
ridiculously inconsistent, but no moro so
than many of the other expressions this
subject from the same source. If the Stand
ard Oil Company is "a foe to American in
stitutions" and all the other terrible things
nor anywhere else. The News can speak for
itself, but if that company is described it
is not true that "every paper in Indianapolis
wants it to come in" The Journal, for one,

of epithets against the Standard Oil Company
is merely intended to kill time and occupy
the public mind. The Standard is neither
better nor worse nor different from other cor
porations except as it is stronger. On this
account it has greater power either for evil or
good, but we have yet to learn that any
poration is organized to do evil. We do not
quite perceive what object the Standard COM
pany could have in destroying American in
situations or overturning the foundations of
society. If the News thinks it is that sort of
octopus" it is consistent in fighting to
keep it away from here, but not consistent in
protesting TO desire it to come in. We pre-
sumo the Standard company, like all other
corporations is organized primarily for the
purpose of making money. We presume that
every corporation in the city is organized for
the same purpose, for that alone and no other
It is is simply cold business all around. So
far as the interests of the people are concerned
they would be as safe in the hands of the
Standard as of any other, and that is not say
ing great deal for any of them. Eventually
gas will be piped to Indianapolis by two or
three companies and probably the Standard
will be one of them, though we sincerely hope
it will never come if it is "a foe to American
institutions" or in any respect much worse
than other corporations We say gas will
undoubtedly be piped here. eventually, by two
or three companies. But this will not be
done under the ordinance as it stands and we
presume no person honestly expects it.

Carson Tribune: Anewspaper man
spent a night at the well-known Ray
craft Hotel at Genoa not long ago., and
gathered around the sitting-room fire
were several travellers and residents of
the town. One was a small young
man and he had the audience all to
himself for a long time, for he knew it
all; there was nothing in earth, skies
or down below that he did not under
stand; he could dictate how to run a
hotel; how to sail a ship; how to run
a newspaper or a political convention /;
in fact there was nothing the young
man was not thoroughly posted in,
and his audience listened attentively,
when the reporter, in his usual quiet
and unassuming manner, inquired
what business the young man fol-
lowed, and received for an answer !:
A piano tuner" That settled every
thing, and the company quietly re-
tired to their virtuous couches.

In a group of girls the other day,
says a seashore letter, some informa-
ton in the stocking mending line was
astonishing. The conversation turned
upon the really disgraceful way in
which the fingers of silk gloves and
the toes Of silk stockings were out now
adays. These were three young ladies
away from home without maids. They
were asked how they managed. Miss
No. 1 for answer pulled off her slipper
and showed her advanced views OF
darning. She had a needle and
thread, run around the place,
gathered it up and fastened it in the
middle, making the most ridiculous
lot of radiating Fuckers, rather worse
to wear than the hole. Bad as this
was she dared No. 2 to show her
method. No. 2 held back, but finally
yielded, and behold! on the heel OF
this young ladies' stocking was a hole
nearly stopped with a postage stamp.
